We propose to continue for three more years the research program currently supported by NSF Grant ATM-8721669. Most of the work will fall into one of three areas: (1) incoherent scatter research, particularly at high altitudes, (2) auroral radar studies, and (3) studies of temperate latitude E-region plasma instabilities similar to those seen at the equator, and perhaps also temperate latitude spread F. Some effort may also be devoted to PMSE (polar mesospheric summer echoes) research. In most of these areas an active research program is already underway; in some cases the program has existed for a number of years and has produced a substantial scientific return.

我们建议继续三年以上的研究项目目前由NSF资助ATM-8721669。大部分工作将落在三个领域之一：(1)非相干散射研究，特别是在高海拔地区；(2)极光雷达研究；(3)温带e区等离子体不稳定性的研究，类似于赤道地区的研究，也许还有温带纬度传播f区。一些努力也可能用于PMSE（极地中间层夏季回波）研究。在大多数这些领域，一个积极的研究项目已经在进行中；在某些情况下，该计划已经存在了数年，并产生了可观的科学回报。
